How did the US victory at the Battle of Midway change the course of the war in the Pacific?

The Japanese were seeking to invade and occupy Midway to protect their homeland from an attack such as that of the Doolittle Raid of April 1942. Instead, in the Battle of Midway, the Japanese lost four aircraft carriers -- the Soryu, the Kaga, Akagi and Hiryu -- while sinking one US carrier, the Yorktown. With this battle the Japanese were so weakened that they spent the rest of the war on defense.

What were the us aircraft carriers in the Battle of Midway?

first answer: The US carriers at Midway were the Lexington, Hornet, and Yorktown. More correct answer: CV-5 Yorktown CV-6 Enterprise CV-8 Hornet The CV-2 Lexington "Lady Lex" had been sunk at the Battle of Coral Sea the previous month, otherwise it would have participated. The CV-5 Yorktown was damaged in the Battle of Coral Sea and almost missed the Battle of Midway. It was sunk in this battle. The CV-6 Enterprise, "Big E" survived this battle and the war. The CV-8 Hornet which had earlier launched the B-25 Doolittle Raid on Japan, survived this battle, but was sunk later in the year.
